Replacing the Lada Vesta engine mount bracket

The power unit (motor with gearbox) is suspended on supports, which are also called engine mounts. Strong vibrations transmitted from the engine to the body indicate wear on these rubber parts. To prevent this negative effect from occurring, it is recommended to replace the engine mounts as they wear out.

This manual covers the replacement of VAZ 21129, VAZ 21179 and HR16 engine mounts installed on the Lada Vesta and XRAY models.

Replacing the left engine mount

The left support is attached to the side member with four bolts. The support is attached to the gearbox bracket with two bolts. The bracket itself is secured to the gearbox housing with three bolts. Access to the left airbag is blocked by the battery shelf, engine crankcase protection and air filter bracket; these parts will need to be removed.

Place a jack under the gearbox and lift it slightly, unloading the left support. Then:

Unscrew the four bolts securing the support to the body using a 16mm wrench (No. 2);
Unscrew the two bolts securing the support to the gearbox bracket (No. 1), 18mm wrench.
Remove the left engine mount.

Installation of the new support is carried out in the reverse order. We tighten the bolts (No. 1) from 90-120 Nm, and the bolts (No. 2) - 53-71 Nm.

Replacing the right engine mount

The right cushion is attached to the side member with two bolts, and three bolts to the engine. Remove the engine splash guard and raise the right side of the engine using a jack. Then:

Unscrew the two bolts (No. 2) securing the support to the body, the key is “16”;
Unscrew the two bolts (No. 1) securing the support to the engine bracket, TORX E12 wrench;
Remove the right engine mount.

Installation in reverse order, tighten the bolts to 53-71 Nm. The right engine mount HR16 has a different design:

Replacing the rear additional engine mount

To reduce vibrations of the power unit, prevent knocking, and also reduce vibrations on the body, a rear support is additionally installed below. You can check the pillow by rocking it in the longitudinal and transverse directions.

Remove the engine protection, and then:

Unscrew the nut (No. 7) using a 18mm wrench, holding the bolt from turning;
Remove the bolt (No. 1) using the same tools;
Loosen the bolt (No. 2);
Remove the bolt and remove the rear support.

When installing, tighten the bolts to 90-120 Nm.

The pillow, also known as the Lada Vesta engine support, is a kind of stabilizer against detonation. Vesta car parts come in three types: left, right, rear additional - price from 1,400 rubles. The parts have a separate article number. Malfunctions: the main malfunction is a knocking sound from the support, usually knocking on the left. The left pillow is reinforced. It is important to adjust the engine mount correctly. During engine operation, useful energy is generated, which is used to set the Lada Vesta car in motion. The movement of the “insides” of the motor causes it to begin to create vibration. To “dampen” engine vibration, they place them on supports, which perform several more functions:

increase sound insulation of the engine compartment;
protect other parts and assemblies from damage;
stabilize the position of the motor as much as possible (if the amplitude of movement of the motor constantly increases, this will lead to wear of the connections);
protect the engine from the negative influence of the external environment (when the car passes obstacles, the suspension does not completely dampen rolling, and the struts act as additional shock absorbers).

Solving the problem yourself

Method No. 1

. You can also get rid of the knocking with a simple modification. It is necessary to lubricate the engine mount with silicone grease (WD-40 will not work) in the places where the rubber comes into contact with the metal housing. Photo of the upper right mount of the Vesta engine: Read more: Nissan Terrano engine where it is assembled After this, the knocking should go away:

Method No. 2

. Install 1-2 mm thick plates into the engine support (author of the photo). A similar solution is found among Renault owners.

Despite the fact that the VAZ 21129 engine (1.6 l, 106 hp) is also installed on the Lada XRAY, the upper right mount of the power unit has a different part number (on Vesta - 8450030109, on XRAY - 112107286R), accordingly, this problem is not observed on the crossover.

Let us remind you that knocking noises in the front part of Vesta can come from the brake caliper or suspension, for example, from anti-roll bars.

It is important to adjust the engine mount correctly. During engine operation, useful energy is generated, which is used to set the Lada Vesta in motion.

The movement of the “insides” of the motor causes it to begin to create vibration. To “dampen” engine vibration, they place them on supports, which perform several more functions:

increase sound insulation of the engine compartment;
protect other parts and assemblies from damage;
stabilize the position of the motor as much as possible (if the amplitude of movement of the motor constantly increases, this will lead to wear of the connections);
protect the engine from the negative influence of the external environment (when the car passes obstacles, the suspension does not completely dampen rolling, and the struts act as additional shock absorbers).

This way, not only the engine is secured, but also the gearbox. His pillow on the Lada Vesta consists of three supports. On the sports model, an additional support enhances stabilization when accelerating and braking; its design is mechanical rubber-metal. Each pillow is a mechanism of two metal plates, between which there is elastic rubber.

At the most unexpected moment, strange sounds may be heard from under the hood - knocking, grinding, clanging, unusual for the normal operation of the car - perhaps this is just the knock of the Lada Vesta engine support. To recognize it and “cure” it correctly, let’s look at everything in order.

How to check engine mounts

The first sign of a strut malfunction is a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. To pre-confirm this “diagnosis”, check for the following signs:

A hum is heard in the cabin when driving at high speeds.
When starting the Lada Vesta engine when cold, metallic tapping is heard in the cabin and strong vibration is felt.
When accelerating sharply or braking sharply, knocking noises are heard from under the hood.
A knocking sound from the left engine mount of the Lada Vesta is less common, but the final conclusion can be made by visually inspecting the cushions. A good rubber-metal part should be completely free of damage, so that the rubber does not make a knock when it comes into contact with metal - this way it does not absorb shocks.
Rock the engine and then press on each corner to identify the worn pad that needs to be replaced. Wait until it cools down before touching the motor.

The knocking sound of the upper engine mount on Vesta is common

It is important to point out the knocking of the Lada Vesta engine mount, which carries a greater load than the other two - this is the upper (or lower) cushion. It is located in the center and does not dampen the vibrations that come to the left or right edge of it, which is why it quickly becomes loose. The design can be modernized by adding a special pillow for the sports version.

Hydromount from BMW

1. First version Stage 1

Engine mount 2495601 from BMW 3 (E46) was taken as a basis. The price is about 2800 rubles.

The peculiarity of the support is that it is hydraulic (the design uses not only metal and rubber, but also oil).

a) at idle, soft support: b) in motion, hard support: 1 – lower (expansion) chamber; 2 – throttling channel; 3 – upper (working) chamber; 4 – movable membrane; 5 – hydraulic support housing; 6 – damping fluid channel.

The difference between a hydraulic and standard support is demonstrated in the video:

The weight of the pillow is 1.76 kg.

Price:

5300 rub. (the LEMFORDER 2495601 support itself costs about 2800 rubles).

2. Modified version of Stage 2.

The hydraulic mount itself is essentially the same thing with the addition of a guitar of the same manufacturer. Due to this, we managed to save some money, so the price increased only for the silent block itself.

Silent block from jikiu be21058, there are no analogues.

Manufacturers and prices of analogues

The cushions for Lada Vesta engines are considered by owners to be not particularly reliable and are even being modified to increase the effect of vibration absorption.

The TuningProsto studio is developing improved spare parts from AvtoVAZ, including a recent development - an engine mount. Their price will be on average 3,000 rubles, orders are still being accepted. The tests were successful, and on a car dealer's car intended for a test drive - the car is used very often.

Otherwise, there are no special attempts to create analogues, because the “craftsmen” have already drawn the attention of Vest owners to two modification options:

Came from Renault owners. It is necessary to create for each problematic pillow a metal plate 80 mm long, 38 mm wide and two grooves on the sides measuring 23 mm wide and 38 mm deep. The funny thing is that the X-Ray, which is in many ways similar to the Vesta, has the same engine (21129), but there are no problems with the upper right support - it’s just different.
If the part itself is still intact, it can be lubricated with silicone grease where the rubber hits the metal body.

How to change airbags on a Vesta car

In order to correctly adjust the engine mount, it is not at all necessary to go to an official dealer - contacting him will still result in the installation of exactly the same part.

Replacing the left engine mount

Before work, prepare and “clear” your way to the part: remove the battery, battery shelf, air filter mount and crankcase protection from under the hood; all components will have to be put aside and then reinstalled. The Lada Vesta cushion itself is attached to the side member on the body with four bolts, and to the gearbox bracket with two bolts. In order not to worry about the reliability of the structure, make sure for yourself that this bracket is attached to the gearbox housing with three bolts.

The replacement procedure is as follows:

Jack up the gearbox - this will reduce the load on the cushion, because the jack will “take” it.
Using keys 16 and 18, unscrew all the bolts that are responsible for fastening the pillow. When retightening the mounting bolts to the side member, stop at a torque of 53-71 Nm.
As for the mounting bolts to the bracket, their tightening torque is 90-120 Nm.
Remove the right engine mount.
Place the new part in place of the old one and tighten the bolts until you are sure that the structure is stable.

Replacing the right engine mount

Depending on the engine model: HR16 or 21129, the design of the right airbag of the Lada Vesta is different. In the VAZ 21129 engine, the right support is located next to the spar, to which it is attached with two bolts, and the engine itself, to which it is attached with three bolts.

The HR16 engine has a slightly different design, and the part can be found next to the fuel pipe and the gasoline vapor recovery system pipe. Three bolts secure its body to the motor, two more hold the bracket. This power unit support in the Lada Vesta is located on the right.

To replace, unscrew all the fastening bolts (depending on what kind of “engine” is in your car) with a 16mm wrench and a TORX E12 wrench and remove the pillow itself.

When you assemble the structure, tighten the bolts to a force of 53-71 Nm.

Replacing the rear additional engine mount

This part is installed below, on the rear side of the motor. The mounts are different on the two types of motors. On the 21129 engine of the Lada Vesta, it is “tied” into a large network of fasteners. So, on one side it is held in place by a bracket that is firmly supported by two bolts. On the other hand, it is attached to the subframe with a bolt and nut. On the HR16 engine, the fastening is simpler: on one side, one bolt secures the part to the subframe, on the other, two bolts secure it to the gearbox.

To replace, unscrew all bolts and remove the rear cushion. On motor 21129, be careful with the bracket fastening bolt - loosen it last and “catch” the pillow.

When putting the structure back together, tighten the bolts to 90-120 Nm.

You can do the work of replacing the power unit supports yourself. After tightening the bolts, check the strength and stability of all racks - they should not wobble excessively and should not stand “tight” - they should have a small amplitude of movement. Proper bolt torque will keep the motor in place and reduce vibration. To ensure the reliability of new parts, you can modify them by lubricating them (wd-40 will not work here).

Hello, friends! Congratulations on the upcoming minus first month of winter - November! There is still six months of ice age ahead. Stay strong, and we'll entertain you. Let me ask a leading question: have you managed to prepare your cars for winter?

I didn't have time. The reason for my unpreparedness is simple: for the final 45 days of a normal autumn (that is, until the first snow), Vesta stood in the official service center awaiting warranty repairs.

45 days, friends! Exactly 45 days!

Surely not everyone knows: if a car under warranty is repaired for more than 45 days during the year, the owner has the right to return the product to the manufacturer and get back the rubles paid for it. In the case of our Vesta, AvtoVAZ is still meeting the deadline, but the guys are risky - they walk on the edge

- What happened to you guys? - you ask. — Sorry, the car broke down. And that's how it was.

Let's return to sunny and warm September. It’s Indian summer in the Far East of the country, the weather is whispering, I’m circling along the dead roads of the city of Vladivostok (the mayor is in Moscow, there’s no asphalt in prison), trying to the best of my ability to collect as few potholes as possible. After overcoming another bump in the form of a failed storm drain, the music coming from under the hood of the “luxury” sedan changes dramatically: instead of the rustle of a 1.6-liter internal combustion engine, I hear the roar of a tractor!

I roll down to the free shoulder, open the hood:

As you can see in the video, the engine FALLED. Not completely fell, of course, but at least tripped.

I remove the plastic cover and immediately see what the problem is: the engine mounting bolts are broken. Two iron bolts just broke!

I had a crazy thought to test the strength of the rumbling Vesta and get to the service station without outside help, but sanity prevailed and I left my “love” to spend the night alone.

The next day (September 14), the valiant X-ray, proudly called a crossover, dragged Vesta to the official service station - the only one in Vladivostok.

As it turns out, X-ray’s crossover nature is supported only by “market nuts.” The warranty engineer, seeing our evacuation team, said that for such experiments the X-ray should be removed from the warranty: according to the instructions, it is impossible to tow such heavy “trailers”...

Otherwise, the service station employees were happy for me and Vesta: we haven’t brought them broken Ladas for a long time! And here - a fallen engine on a brand new Vesta - that's 10 out of 10! As they say, you can’t drink experience away. I left the guys to study the problem and returned to listen to the verdict a couple of days later.

The verdict did not surprise me: for some reason, two bolts securing the right engine mount were broken.

The engine did not fall because it was caught by a pulley

There are two options for solving the problem. You can do it under warranty, that is, write about the problem in Togliatti, wait for approval of the repair and delivery of spare parts. You can pick up a pair of reliable Japanese bolts on the spot and fix everything in a day. Naturally, we chose the first option.

The diagram shows one bolt, but there are actually two. Both are broken

And the waiting began. Days turned into weeks, and October arrived. I periodically called the service station and asked how things were going. Unfortunately, there was no good news: the spare parts apparently traveled on foot from Togliatti to Vladivostok.

About a month later they came, but not all of them. Or not the ones they ordered - I still don’t understand. What can we do, we wait further...

Here it would be good to make a lyrical digression and imagine for a moment that you are an ordinary property owner living in the Far East. Do you understand how sad I must be? I bought a new car for 658 thousand rubles and lost it due to a trivial breakdown for a month and a half. Could you spend that much time without a car? Of course we could, but it could cause a lot of inconvenience. Especially if home and work are separated by 35 km, and there is no normal option to get there by public transport, as in my case.

But I’m not an ordinary car owner, and Vesta is a working tool for me, and not the only car in the family, like most people. Therefore, I only watched in amazement at how long it took the giant AvtoVAZ colossus to solve the problem of two broken bolts.

On the 43rd day of repairs (October 26, Wednesday), I could not stand it and stopped at the service station to visit Vesta and find out how this whole incomprehensible and stupid situation could have happened. The director of the service center just shrugged his shoulders ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Like, sorry, but it’s not our fault. At first the spare parts just took a very long time, then a set of bolts arrived, but the wrong size - too short! The entire dialogue with the factory regarding ordering spare parts for warranty repairs is computerized: there is a request in the system, it has a status (received, sent, delivered, refused, etc.), it is almost impossible to influence a soulless machine.

In general, the director said that he wrote another letter to Tolyatti and really hopes for a positive resolution of the situation (that is, for the magical appearance of two bolts of the required size in Vladivostok) in the coming days, because otherwise, already on Monday it will be possible to start talking about a return or replacing Vesta.

I was prepared for the worst-case scenario and was preparing for an interesting conversation about the possibility of getting a new Vesta or 658 thousand rubles in cash. Unfortunately or fortunately, a true miracle happened: on Friday, October 28, on the 45th day of repairs, a call came from the service station with a message that Vesta was in working order and could be picked up!

I dropped everything and took the swallow, which had been in captivity since mid-September.

A serviceable Vesta that sat in the service station for 45 days

New bolts. I wonder if they are ours or still Japanese?

And two days later it snowed.

Examination

It is not difficult to assess the need to replace the engine mounts of the Lada Vesta and X-Ray. This requires looking under the hood and visually inspecting the cushions for damage - breaks in rubber components, cracks in metal, etc.

In general, if you experience the following symptoms, you should consider replacing:

During a sharp start or when braking with the power unit, knocking noises are heard from under the hood;
Vibrations are felt while the engine is running;
The cabin fills with noise when driving.

The steps described below are relevant for two engines - VAZ 21129, as well as HR16, which were installed under the hood of the XRAY and Vesta models.

The sound of the engine mounts can be clearly heard in the video.

Replacing engine mounts for VAZ 21129 and HR16 (Lada Vesta and XRAY)

_x000D_

This manual covers the replacement of VAZ 21129 and HR16 engine mounts installed on the Lada Vesta and XRAY models.

_x000D_

Right pillow

Replacing the engine mount of the Lada Vesta and X-Ray begins with dismantling the mudguard of the power unit, after which the engine must be jacked up on the right side. The support itself is fixed to the spar using 3 bolts.

For dismantling you will need:

Using a 16mm wrench, unscrew the 2 bolts that secure the cushion to the body.
Remove the 2 bolts that secure the cushion to the power unit bracket. A TORX E12 bit is used for this.

When everything is done, you can remove the support.

Installation proceeds in the reverse order, and the bolts should be tightened in the range from 53 Nm to 71 Nm.

As for the right motor mount of the HR16 series, it has a slightly different layout.

Rear cushion

This support is located at the bottom of the rear side of the motor. It is designed to reduce engine vibrations, as well as suppress knocking and dampen vibrations.

To dismantle it, you will first have to remove the protection of the power unit. When this is done, you need to unscrew the nut with an 18mm wrench while holding the bolt so that it does not turn.

Next, using the same 17mm wrench, unscrew the bolt marked in Figure No. 1, and then loosen the bolt marked No. 2. All that remains is to remove the bolt and remove the support.

When tightening, the prescribed torque is from 90 Nm to 120 Nm.

As you can see, replacing the Lada Vesta and X-Ray engine mounts yourself is quite possible and does not require a large number of tools.

Left pillow

The left engine mount of Lada Vesta and X-Ray is fixed to the body with 4 bolts. Also, the cushion is attached to the gearbox bracket with 2 bolts. In turn, the bracket is fixed to the gearbox housing using 3 bolts.

Replacing the part is complicated by the fact that access to it is blocked by several components at once - the crankcase protection, the filter (air) mount, and the battery shelf. Therefore, to get to the support, all this will have to be dismantled.

First you need to unload the cushion, for which you slightly raise the gearbox using a jack.

Next, using a 16mm wrench, unscrew the 4 bolts that secure the left engine mount to the body.

Then, using an 18mm wrench, you need to unscrew 2 more bolts that secure the cushion to the transmission bracket. Once this is done, the part can be removed.

Assembly is carried out in reverse order.

Which lower engine mount to choose for Lada Vesta

At the moment, three replacement options for the standard support are popular among Lada Vesta owners:

Rosteco (21349)
MIKA (8450031975MIKA)
Reinforced support from Lada Vesta Sport

We recommend installing a standard support from a sports Lada Vesta only if you have an unlimited budget; such a part is sold by an official dealer from 3.5 thousand rubles, and the reviews after its installation are mixed. Rosteco will cost about 1 thousand rubles, but many owners who ordered the bottom pillow from this company note that the box contained a Mika support, and Rosteco only packed it in theirs. A guitar from the manufacturer MIKA will cost the buyer ~600 rubles and, based on the above facts, it is recommended for purchase.
